Chapter 501 Roxanne immediately refuted that, “I think you got it wrong. We're mere acquaintances and are not close.” Cassandra raised an eyebrow and decided to try her luck. “In that case, can we switch our groupings for the play?” she asked, harboring hope that Roxanne would say yes and she could partner with Lucian instead.

Although she hoped to hook up with Lucian, even if she failed, she would still be happy to have a hunk like Lucian as her prince in the play.

Roxanne was excited by Cassandra's proposal. However, recalling Jeffrey's words, she had her doubts. “Can we still make a switch now?” she asked, looking uncertain.

Cassandra could tell Roxanne was agreeable, so she nodded her head excitedly and said, “So long as we're both agreeable, | don’t see why not. All we have to do is inform Ms. Ward about our decision.’ Roxanne was hopeful and nodded in agreement.

Jeffrey could not accommodate her request for a switch earlier as he would have difficulty coordinating the change with other parents. However, since Cassandra initiated the switch and both of them were agreeable, she did not think Jeffrey and Pippa had any reasons to object.

After reaching a consensus with Cassandra, the two ladies went back to their own seats. They planned to inform Pippa of their agreement later.

Archie and Benny led Roxanne to their seats, and her jaws dropped when she saw where their seats were.

She had no idea the boys were seated next to Estella.

That meant she had to take a seat next to Lucian! “Mommy...” The boys gingerly nudged her when they saw her dazed and rooted to the spot, with no intention of sitting down.

Roxanne snapped out of her shock, gave the boys a forced smile, and sat down awkwardly, her body tensed.

“I see Ms. Jarvis is really popular. Didn't know you're so chummy with the other parents...” Lucian sarcastically said.

Roxanne frowned slightly, puzzled by his mocking. She turned toward him and saw him looking stonily at Cassandra, Cassandra noticed his gaze was on her, and she blushed.

Lucian furrowed his brow in disdain and looked away.

Roxanne gave him a wry smile and said, “If you are referring to that lady, then it is all thanks to you, Mr. Farwell.” Lucian’s gaze darkened upon hearing her rebuke. He knew she would not bother to explain even if he asked, so he left it as it was.

At that moment, Pippa came into the classroom with a parent who arrived late. After settling everyone down, she did a headcount and was pleased to see a full attendance. She smiled and said, “Since everyone is here, let's begin our discussion on the scripts for the plays.” Before the discussion could commence, Roxanne hurriedly stood up and said, “Ms. Ward, Ms. Clark and | would like to switch groups.” Everyone was dumbfounded. They could not understand why she would give up on a terrific partner like Lucian and request to switch.

Pippa looked toward Lucian, hoping to get a hint of his opinion on that matter.

Lucian was frowning, and there was indignation in his eyes.

Estella, on the other hand, was anguished.

Pippa understood how Lucian felt, and she was put in a difficult position. She turned to Roxanne and tried to change her mind.

“Ms. Jarvis, the groups had been finalized. Moreover, Archie and Benny got along well with Estella, so...” Roxanne was a little swayed, but she hardened her heart and insisted, “I've discussed with Ms. Clark, and she’s agreeable.” Pippa was caught in the middle. She could not find a reason to refuse Roxanne’s request, but at the same time, she was also wary of Lucian’s reaction.
